    @6:30 fun fact about Cobra's Curse and the smell. There used to be a walk-through exhibit that replicated the tomb of King Tut where the queue is now. They created an artificial smell to help sell the illusion you're in a previously undisturbed tomb of a dead guy and after some decades it's just permanently seeped into the walls. I get nostalgic walking through that queue from the smell alone.

    I grew up at this park visiting every weekend or skipping school to sneak over on days when it felt like you were the only person there. We would ride Montu back to back 10x in a row! Gwazi wasn't Iron Gwazi yet but still a ton of fun! Kumba wasn't nearly as rough as it is now (or maybe I'm just old 😅) and there was an awesome water ride called tidal wave that you could stand on the bridge under the drop and get absolutely drenched!! It's such a beautiful park with all the gardens and animal exhibits. Now that I've seen your review, I've got to get back and ride Iron Gwazi!!

    On Kumba there’s a spot where if you’re sitting on the right most seat in the row as you go into a right turn right at ground level (14:10 mark) if you hold your arm out to your right towards the ground static electricity comes up from the ground.

    Montu is just insane. I sitll remember every second of that coaster after not having been to the park since 09.
    During the batwing section there was this metal plate on the ground that would rattle so loud as the train flew past it. It created this INSANE roaring sound, and the trains just felt like they were going 1000 mph through there. I can see its not there anymore. Then it goes into this break run that prepares you for the corkscrews, and you're just flying through that bit.
    The entire ride is so memorable, lost track how many times I've been on it.
    My favorite rides were the night rides before the park closed, it just felt faster. And I loved the twinkling lights of the park, and little lights positioned throughout the track like on the break runs. Whole thing is such a goddamn vibe.
    The only inverted track that has given me a similar experience, including the night time experiences, is in Busch Gardens Virginia with the ride Alpengeist. That ride kicks asss. Top three thrills in my life are that, Montu and I305. I had no idea about I305 before I went on it, it was just this ride in the back of Kings Dominion with seemingly no queue line haha, seemed innocent.
    Kumba and Shiekra were my first go to's in the park right when it would open. My friend and I would be the only two kids on Shiekra bright and early. Shame about your first kumba ride. Seems like the track is deteriorating, I've heard they plan on removing it. I remember it being a little shaky in 09 but it was still smooth enough to enjoy a lot. This is making me wanna fly down to Tampa for a day or two just to revisit. There's so many new rides there I would love to go on. Definitely make your way up to Busch Gardens Virginia though, you'll fucking love it. Shiekra has my heart for Dive coasters still to this day but Griffon and Alpengeist seriously goated

    This is my home park, the first time I rode the iron gwazi was at hallow scream in the middle of the night. I didn't know what the track looked like so it was just pure Terror the entire time. It literally felt like I was going to have a heart attack, I grew up riding of these rides my whole life, and I had been on the old Kwasi a few times, I never liked it cuz it was too shaky and I had a bad experience on it one time. But the iron gwazi was like next level. Unforgettable and so much force plus nowhere to hold onto!

    After I rode Iron Gwazi for the first time I was making the 4 hour round trip drive twice a week to ride this as much as possible. I got like 400 rides in 6 months. I thought nothing could touch it but I gotta say I do prefer Velocicoaster. I mean, it's kinda apples and oranges cuz they're so different and I fuckin love Gwazi. But VC has the best seats. They're so open and freeing and your body gets thrown around like a rag doll so it feels more intense.

    Hell yeah I'm glad we got some Kumba appreciation. That used to be my favorite ride in the park until they built Iron Gwazi. The sheer intensity is insane. I always get tunnel vision at the bottom of the first drop. Its a shame the track is so rough. Everyone I ride with always complains about it. I'm fairly tall, so my head doesn't get banged around in the restraints so much. Which means my favorite coaster always has a short line even on busy days. I just hope they don't end up closing it down. Would be great if they could fix it so that it gets more of the recognition it deserves.

One of the other reasons I love montu so much is whenever I come, there is NEVER a line longer than 10-20 minutes for it! Everyone's always too terrified of it! I took my boyfriend the week after you went and he's a roller coaster hater, I was able to convince him to go on the montu with me and that changed his perspective to a rollercoaster lover and that's how he found this video! The kumba is also the only rollercoaster that will never fail to make me puke after. Not sure why and it sucks because I love the kumba but the kumba doesn't love me.

I've never struggled with Busch Gardens in that regard, there were hot days but there were a lot of places to take breaks or be in the shade + the congo ride which isn't too scary and gets you a few splashes. When I went to Disney a bit ago I even came prepared with a spray fan, and drank plenty of water yet it still ended with that result. This was in magic kingdom though so idk if it's any different in other parks.

    BGT is my home park and I love it. But those prices for merch, food and beverage and those surcharges? Ouch
    But the ride lineup is worth it.
    Also I agree with Cheetah Hunt’s horrible OTSR’s those things are an abomination and I’m 6’6. If that had the soft strap like Maverick and I305 then it would be a much enjoyable ride but the park doesn’t want to spend the money for it (mainly cause the person running it is cheap)
    Also yes Iron Gwazi is bat crap amazing. Death roll is demented and the ride from start to finish is just amazing. No filler, no repetition, just pure fun.
    As far as the whole Iron Gwazi and Velocicoaster thing. It depends which manufacturer you like more
    If you like Intamin more you’ll like Velocicoaster more and if you like RMC more you’ll like Iron Gwazi.
    One other note
    SV is not bad but lately the ops have to staple you and it’s a pain to deal with, at BGT they give you minimum clearance for all that juicy airtime.

      There’s paid lockers in front of all the coasters for you to put your stuff in. You pay like $12 and you get a movable locker all day. So you put your stuff in a locker when you ride, take it out, and then put it in a different locker when you get to the next ride.
